TR19 inspection in Hinton Waldrist, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you are dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and missing access panels found on survey, we can help.
In a small place like Hinton Waldrist, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
What affects the quote in Hinton Waldrist
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Hinton Waldrist: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Hinton Waldrist?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Hinton Waldrist can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Hinton Waldrist?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Hinton Waldrist?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hinton Waldrist run smoothly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Hinton Waldrist kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hinton Waldrist. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Food hygiene inspections in Hinton Waldrist are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hinton Waldrist sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Hinton Waldrist, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Longworth House, about 0.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Hinton Waldrist; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Longworth Hospital about 5.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hinton Waldrist

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
